i used to want to be either a ballerina or a princess but i couldn’t cut the mustard at either, so i decided to become a writer instead. i wrote my first book when i was seven. it’s called “how the seahorse lost his rider†and i illustrated it too. you can buy it here .
i never really stopped writing, and i’m lucky enough to make a (kind of) living out of it. right now i have a novella called “airmail†about to come out, and i’m working on a new novel that requires me to research wine. a lot.
here are a few of my recent articles:
* confessions of a couture junkie
* tequila: beauty & brutality, bottled
* in love with star wars
* tv nostalgia #1: wonder woman
when i was 16 my parents moved to the bush. we lived in a caravan while my dad built the house, and we had no electricity, no running water, no phone and no idea. i wrote a book about it, called "seventeen summers". you can read it here .
i have an unfortunate addiction to good wine, fabulous shoes, beautiful works of art and ridiculous outfits for my dog. i therefore also have a credit card debt. so i do a lot of journalism and copy writing, and produce the odd tvc or documentary, when pressed. if you want to read some of my more serious work you can find it here .
my corporate clients kept asking me how to write (i don't think they wanted to pay me to do it anymore) so i wrote a workbook to teach them how. it's called "talk without being interrupted", and you can order it here .
and no, i'm not really 68. but i'm a lady, so i'm not going to tell you my real age.
